This patch splits the check_btf_info's check_btf_func check into two separate phases. The first phase sets up the BTF and prepares func_info, but does not perform any validation of required invariants for subprogs just yet. This is left to the second phase, which happens where check_btf_info executes currently, and performs the line_info and CO-RE relocation. The reason to perform this split is to obtain the userspace supplied func_info information before we perform the add_subprog call, where we would now require finding and adding subprogs that may not have a bpf_pseudo_call or bpf_pseudo_func instruction in the program. We require this as we want to enable userspace to supply exception callbacks that can override the default hidden subprogram generated by the verifier (which performs a hardcoded action). In such a case, the exception callback may never be referenced in an instruction, but will still be suitably annotated (by way of BTF declaration tags). For finding this exception callback, we would require the program's BTF information, and the supplied func_info information which maps BTF type IDs to subprograms. Since the exception callback won't actually be referenced through instructions, later checks in check_cfg and do_check_subprogs will not verify the subprog. This means that add_subprog needs to add them in the add_subprog_and_kfunc phase before we move forward, which is why the BTF and func_info are required at that point.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
